THE CAMP EXPERIENCE 

Participants experience a week filled with making new friends, specialized band instruction and fun that they won't soon forget! 

On the first morning of camp participants are assigned to a band that corresponds to their musical experience and performance ability. SBA Band Camps focus on improving performance skills that relate directly to the positive experiences of playing in a large ensemble. Throughout the week participants' schedules vary to accommodate the wide range of activities the camp offers. To showcase the hard work of the campers, each camp wraps up with an exciting public concert.

RECREATION

SBA camps mix work and fun - it is summer after all!  Although music is the focus, recreation and fun are an essential ingredient in the overall camp experience. In addition to breaks and free time, each day, a wide-array of planned activities keep students active and involved. Depending on each camp's schedule on-site special activities including dances, movies, student talent shows etc. may also be scheduled to add extra fun to the camp experience. Due to the intensive training during Jazz Camp, please note that recreation time is not as plentiful.
